Over to France this week, for the Dijon Auditorium Debussyades Series of concerts. This one features The Manfred Quartet in concert, recorded on October 7th of this year playing two works.

Here’s what’s on the player this week:

1. Gustav Samazeuilh
Quatuor en ré mineur (1900)

2. César Franck
Quintette en fa mineur M 7 (1878,1879)

Quatuor Manfred
Marie Béreau, Violon
Luigi Vecchioni, Violon
Emmanuel Haratyk, Alto
Christian Wolff, Violoncelle

Claire Désert, Piano

Concert donné le 7 octobre 2012. En partenariat avec le Palazzetto Bru Zane – Centre de musique romantique française.

As always, a wonderfully recorded concert by France Radio Musique featuring one work, not all that familiar and the other, one of the great pieces of French musical literature.

A good transition into the holiday.

Enjoy and stay sane.
